They are, aren't they? The only way we come out of mtrr_save_state()
without calling mtrr_save_fixed_ranges() =E2=80=94 either directly or via
smp_call_function_single() =E2=80=94 is if they've already been saved once
*and* system_state < SYSTEM_RUNNING.

I suppose we could make that clearer by moving the definition of the
mtrr_saved flags inside the if (system_state < SYSTEM_RUNNING) block?
